History & Background (Dossier)

Newcastle (Vland 1801) is a rich, agricultural Imperial Client state, located on the Vilani Main in the neutral space between the Imperium and Vargr territories in Anarsi Subsector of Vland Sector.

• This world hosted a Scout base during the Second Imperium.

History-Era: Rebellion

Newcastle has been under the control of numerous Vargr corsairs for nearly two decades now. Early in 1104, Vargr corsairs overwhelmed the relatively low-tech defenses and took over the planet completely. This system learned the hard way that system defense boats are essential for border planets.

It is believed that Newcastle has served as the jump off point for many of the Vargr corsair advances between 1113 and 1115. Although clandestine surveys of the system have failed to turn up any conclusive evidence of a corsair base, computer analysis of traffic patterns repeatedly show Newcastle as the hub.
